On the second day, Lin Tingxuan returned to Shichang Bo Mansion for training before dawn.
An hour later, morning practice ended.
Nuan Nuan gave Lin Tingxuan some pointers and then left.
Someone came over from Yaxing today. Taking advantage of these few days to stay in the capital, Nuan Nuan planned to buy some properties in the capital.
Lin Tingxuan continued training alone at the training ground.
It was almost lunch time when he stopped.
Lin Tingxuan was about to leave when Wenxin walked up to him with a bundle in his hand and handed the bundle to him: "Mr. Lin, this is for you. Thank you for saving me on the mountain that day."
Lin Tingxuan glanced at the light blue baggage in front of him, and then at the uneasy girl in front of him, worried about being rejected.
He hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking it: "That's what it should be. Miss Wen, don't take it to heart."
Seeing that he accepted it, Wenxin was obviously relieved: "I should do this! I won't hinder you!"
After saying that, Wen Xin ran away.
Nalan Jinnian had just climbed over the wall and saw this scene from a distance. He took a look at his brand-new brocade clothes and silver robe, turned around and went back over the wall.
Lin Tingxuan returned to the room with his baggage.
He put the bundle on the table, opened it and took a look, only to see a brand new set of clothes on it. It's purple, and the stitching is so dense that it's almost invisible.
Thinking of the dark shadow under the girl's eyes, and thinking of what her half-brother said deliberately yesterday.
His heart seemed to be touched by something.
In his memory, no one made clothes for him except his grandmother and grandma.
But grandma and grandma are old, have bad eyesight, and haven’t made clothes for themselves for many years.
My mother died early, and she died in childbirth due to a difficult birth of my younger sister.
He was only three years old at the time and had no memory of his mother.
A month later, his father married his biological aunt and brought back a younger brother, who was only ten days older than his sister.
When he was young, he was ignorant. He only knew that his aunt was very kind to him and his sister in front of his father and grandmother. Without a mother, he always wanted to get close to her.
But when her father and grandmother were away, she was very cruel to herself and her sister, pinching and beating them.
Gradually, I no longer dare to get close to her! Later, he was disliked by his father for some reason.
No matter how good he is and how hard he works, his father hates him more and more.
The younger sister is also very timid and does not please her father.
One year the emperor held an autumn hunt, and my father said that the whole family would go to participate.
He heard his father holding his younger brother and talking about what was in the mountains, what his father would hunt for him, and how he would teach him how to ride a horse.
The younger brother was so happy that he danced in his arms.
He was very envious at the time and a little bit looking forward to it because his father said that the whole family would go.
Then the whole family went away, and only he and his sister stayed in the house.
He seemed to suddenly understand something.
…
Lin Tingxuan's heart ached when he thought of this, and he retracted his thoughts with a cold expression.
His eyes fell on the purple brocade robe on the baggage, and his face softened slightly. He couldn't help but pick it up and compare it. It fit well.
Then he folded it carefully, put it back into the bag, wrapped it up, and put it in the cabinet.
—
The dentist from Yaxing came to the door with a few books.
He introduced Nuan Nuan to what shops and Zhuangzi were selling in the capital.
Shops in the capital are very expensive. A small shop in a remote street costs more than 10,000 taels.
In those prosperous streets, there are hundreds of thousands of taels per room.
And there is no need to think about it, because they are all valuable but not marketable, and have long been bought by wealthy people in the capital. If nothing happens, they will not sell the shop.
There are none in the suburbs of Zhuangzi, they are all far away from the capital.
Many aristocratic families in the capital have been wealthy for several generations, and their background is unimaginable.
Many people initially accumulated these foundations by relying on the products of shops and Zhuangzi.
Nuan Nuan was watching Zhuangzi's introduction carefully under the flower stand in the yard.
The mottled light and shadow fall on the girl's body, which is peaceful and beautiful.
Nalan Jinnian walked over.
The man was wearing a silver round-collar brocade robe, which was a bit white from the washing, but he was dressed in old clothes, which could not stop his elegance and natural nobility.
The people from Yaxing took people to Prince Jin's Mansion before, but when they recognized that this was Prince Jin, they quickly lowered their heads and saluted respectfully, not even daring to raise their heads again.
Nuan Nuan looked up at him, her eyes fell on the clothes on his body for less than a second, and then she looked down at the booklet in her hand.
Nalan Jinnian: "......"
This was the only piece of clothing he found among a dozen wardrobes full of new clothes after rummaging through them for a long time. He had worn them back from the border two years ago.
Nalan Jinnian moved a little and sat in front of Wen Nuan. His hands seemed to be casually placed on the table.
Silver arrow sleeves were spread on the table, taking up most of the table.
It was obvious that the sleeve was a little torn in one place.
He wouldn't say it out loud, that was what he just said on purpose.
Wen Nuan frowned: "Take your hands away, your sleeves are blocking my view."
“……..”
Nalan Jinnian silently took his hand away, and his depressed eyes fell on the booklet she was reading.
"Do you want to buy Zhuangzi? Is there anyone you like?"
"Well, I've spotted two of them, and I'm going to take a look."
Nuan Nuan looked at Ya Ji and pointed to the two villages and a shop she had just found in the booklet: "I want to go see these two villages and this shop."
Nalan Jinnian took a look and said: "This store is not good, don't buy it. Wait until there is a good one in a while before buying."
Nuan Nuan glanced at him: "There is a shortage of shops in the capital, and almost no one will sell good shops."
He said it as if there would be a shop selling it in a while.
Nalan Jinnian: "No hurry, let's go see Zhuangzi first! Let's go!"
He stood up.
Nuan Nuan also stood up, glanced at his clothes and said, "Did you know that I planned to buy a village with a hill today, so you specially wore an old clothes to accompany me to climb the mountain?"
Nalan Jinnian: "...right!"
"It doesn't have to be so old! I've seen that your clothes are worn once or twice and then never worn again!"
Sometimes I change clothes two or three times a day.
Nalan Jinnian: "..."
I don’t want to talk anymore!

Nuan Nuan also returned to the house and changed into a light red riding outfit. Her hair was all tied up with ribbons of the same color, and her entire face was exposed.
A beautiful neck, cute ears, a smooth and perfect forehead, a pretty nose, delicate eyebrows, smart eyes, and a pretty little mouth...
The exterior is exquisite and impeccably beautiful.
Nalan Jinnian stayed on her lips for a second longer, then looked away: "How about it be more convenient to change into men's clothes?"
"No need." Nuan Nuan got on the horse directly.
Nalan Jinnian could only keep up. He seemed to have no position to care too much
Nalan Jinnian accompanied Wen Nuan to visit two Zhuangzi.
Both villages have hills, and they have planted some fruit trees. However, those fruit trees are infested with insects and look wilting. It is difficult not to die, let alone expect them to bear fruit.
After Nuan Nuan bargained, he bought two Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing for fifty-five thousand taels.
There are more than 100 acres of fertile land in each village, totaling nearly 300 acres.
The grain in the field was overgrown with grass, probably because it was not taken care of anymore because it was going to be sold.
The field was warm and needed, so he asked someone to harvest all the grain before it was ripe!
Everyone who invited me felt it was a waste, but Wen Nuan persisted.
There is nothing we can do, since we are doing things with money anyway.
In the next few days, Nuan Nuan was busy arranging Zhuangzi's affairs.
After the arrangements were made, a few days passed, and the day of the lotus appreciation feast arrived.
